The article also talks about her suggestion that we shoud look into paying out reparations to descendents of slaves. Why stop at reparations to Black who are descendents of slaves? Why don't we pay reparations to native americans, descendents japanese-americans that we put in internment camps, descendents of irish citizens that were mistreated the second they got off their potato boats, and chineese immigrants that were taken advantage of to build out railroad systems.

This reparations talk is BS. My family didn't even immigrate to this country until the 20th century. Why should I be held responsible for someone else's ancestors' fuck up?

Exactly. Why should anyone? If you didn't do the crime, why do the time?

Everyone is forced to be born without choice. That's as fair and equal as life is gonna get. Once you are here, make the most of it or check out, but don't expect anyone to give you something they didn't take from you.
